History
Every year the British Baseball Federation's playoffs culminate in the National Final, spread over an autumn weekend. Since 1999 the final has been contested as part of a broader "Final 4" tournament. In 2009 the tournament was renamed the "National Baseball Championships" .
It is truly an honour to be selected to umpire this prestigious event, the highlight of the British baseball season. Here are the umpiring crews that have officiated at recent National Finals
